Chapter 1643 Three Links

Now that he was thinking about Yu Rentai, Yin Jun invited Yu Rentai to Qilin Film Company the next day.

Many directors in Hong Kong actually belong to a certain film company, or have signed a contract with a certain company for several years.

In this way, they can also get a fixed salary, so that when they are not making movies, they will not have enough food and clothing.

Yu Rentai now belongs to the director of New Art City.

He was found by Huang Baiming.

Although Huang Baiming completely "degenerated" after 2010 and relied on his emotions to make money, at this stage, even in the 1990s, he was still very outstanding.

Huang Baiming, like Zeng Zhiwei, is an all-rounder.

Director, screenwriter, producer, starring...etc., I can do everything.

If he hadn't been too ambitious, Yin Jun would have wanted to keep him at Qilin Culture.

Huang Baiming also has a very accurate eye for people. He has discovered many directors and stars, and Yu Rentai is just one of them.

Moreover, before "Spiritual Energy", Yu Rentai did not show too much talent, and he was a second-category director in New Art City.

Relying on Zhou Yunfa's reputation, "Aura" has done well at the box office in Hong Kong, and with the help of Kirin Asia Cinemas, it has been released all over Asia. The overseas profit share is as high as 70 million Hong Kong dollars, which has made a solid profit for New Art City. Pen.

Yu Rentai was also greatly inspired, and felt that he could develop more in such supernatural and funny movies. If he had another high-grossing movie, his status would be stable.

He was thinking about asking Huang Baiming to make another similar script, but he didn't expect that Yin Jun actually asked him to come over.

Yin Jun never invites people to the office for no reason.

If there is an invitation, then there must be something serious.

Yu Rentai is not a fool. Everyone knows that Yin Jun likes to support newcomers in making movies.

As long as you are in the film and television industry and what position you are working in, then Yin Jun will usually come to you for this reason.

What does Yu Rentai do?

Director!

Yin Jun came to him, probably because he wanted him to be the director.

When he thought that he had the opportunity to film Yin Jun's script, Yu Rentai became so excited that he didn't even sleep well. He got up and washed up the next day and went directly to Qilin Film Company.

Yu Rentai is a bit fat and wears glasses. At first glance, he looks a bit like the short, tight Teacher Gao.

"Master Jun! Come here to me. Are there any good things waiting for me?"

After a few pleasantries, Yu Rentai asked straightforwardly.

He behaves differently from ordinary people when they come to Yin Jun's office.

Many people are a little nervous, a little nervous, looking forward to but worried about not getting what they want.

But Yu Rentai was more outspoken and sincere.

This may be related to the fact that he studied in the United States and worked at ABC.

"You're right." Yin Jun didn't hide it, "Now I want you to go to the United States to make a few movies. Are you interested?"

"Yes, I have!"

Yu Rentai clapped his hands and said excitedly, "I knew you were going to give me a chance!"

Yin Jun looked a little funny.

Most of Yu Rentai's films were horror films, so Yin Jun thought that he should be the same as Yu Yunchang, a little colder and more withdrawn.

I didn't expect him to be so cheerful and generous. I really don't know how he made so many spooky and scary movies.

"What kind of movies do you personally like?" Yin Jun asked him.

"I actually like movies with more scary scenes." Yu Rentai said, "For example, I like "Saw" very much. This time I made "Aura", originally I planned to have the heroine be killed by a ghost, but in the end Brother Fa will go out for revenge. But Mr. Huang said that this is not good for the box office, so I don’t dare to make mistakes."

After a pause, Yu Rentai said, "The market in Xiangjiang is still too small. Unless it is a big-budget movie that costs a lot of money, only those small-budget movies will be popular."

Yin Jun nodded slightly.

Yu Rentai finally got it right.

There are many, many reasons for the decline of Hong Kong movies.

One of them is what Yu Rentai said: The place is too small and the market is too small, so the types of films that the audience likes are limited.

In order to satisfy the appetite of these people, then movies can only be made in those categories.

If you want to be unconventional, such as Shaw Brothers' "Interstellar" or New Art City's "The Legend of Shushan", it will lead to huge losses.

Over time, everyone stopped trying new movies and just stuck to the old routine.

Occasionally, some directors will take a new path and achieve good results, and then everyone will flock to them and turn this path into hell.

Do you think there can be any good movies like this?

The Chinese film market when Yin Jun traveled back through time was actually a bit like this.

The ones that can sell high box office are either foreign science fiction blockbusters with special effects or mainland comedies.

Just because comedies make money, people are rushing to make comedies. Few people are willing to touch other categories.

Films like "Wolf Warrior 2" and "Red Sea Action" are just a handful of examples.

Therefore, the box office market in mainland China at that time was still not mature.

The truly most mature and best film market is the North American market.

It’s not that the North American market generally has the highest box office in the world.

Rather, the audience in the North American market is the most mature and diverse.

They can accept excellent movies of all genres.

Whether it's action, romance, horror, science fiction, animation, gay themes, etc., you can find a lot of audiences in North America.

And these movie fans with various hobbies support the development of these movies-with real money.

With this support, investors can make money, and they will be more active in making more and better movies of the same type.

This creates a virtuous cycle.

So it doesn’t matter what type of movie you make, as long as it’s done well, the market will definitely not bury it!

Yin Jun's wish is to diversify Chinese films so that the Chinese film market can become such an inclusive and mature market.

After passing through his thoughts, Yin Jun took three thick stacks of documents to Yu Rentai.

"Take a look first," Yin Jun said. "Three movies will be shot in two years."

Yu Rentai held the script in both hands, trembling with joy.

Young Master Jun really thinks highly of himself!

I was given three scripts at once, which is something I have never heard of! !

After laying out the three folders, Yu Rentai saw three names.

"The Ghost Bride"

"Scream"

"Human Purge"

"Take it back and look at it slowly, and then decide what you want to shoot first." Yin Jun said with a smile, "Write a plan to me. If it suits you, go to the United States! The United Artists Film Company there will We’ll build a team for you, you can also bring a few people yourself.”

Yu Rentai nodded, "Master Jun, what about the cost of these three dramas..."

"You decide for yourself." Yin Jun muttered, "I will assign you a producer. He is only responsible for helping you handle chores. Everything in the play is yours to decide!"

"In terms of candidates?" Yu Rentai continued to ask.

"You can choose for yourself, both American and Xiangjiang actors are fine." Yin Jun said, "Whoever you like, just ask him to go to the United States. I don't think many people can refuse you."

"good!"

Yu Rentai hesitated for a moment and then said, "Actually, many actors in Hong Kong can't let go of horror movies. I think Americans are more suitable... As long as our actors appear in them, it doesn't matter. Is he the protagonist?"

Yin Jun also agreed with Yu Rentai's idea.

After all, horror movies are niche movies, so many of the actors in them will not be big-name stars.

Many famous actors in horror films rarely change roles because their looks have been fixed and it is difficult to change.

If you want to become famous, the best thing is to make a commercial film or an artistic film that will win awards.

Look at Sister Qingxia. In the past two years, she has been nominated for the Academy Award for Best Actress twice. This time she also directly won the Best Actress Award, and she suddenly became popular in the mainstream film industry.

Yu Rentai is also a straightforward person.

After discussing with Yin Jun about his authority, funds and some necessary matters, he happily went home with three scripts.

The script written by Yin Jun is relatively detailed. He has to read it slowly and ponder it slowly before he can understand the meaning of the script and make a good movie that matches the script.

He knew that what Yin Jun gave him must be a good script.

But he never expected the weight of the script Yin Jun gave him.

Including "The Ghost Bride" filmed by Yu Rentai himself, the three films are all classics of horror films, and they are also horror films of different types.

"Ghost Bride" is the fourth part of the "Ghost" series. Just look at the word "ghost" and you will know that it is based on the theme of horror.

Its six-movie series is split into ten years, with no fear of boring audiences.

"Scream" is more of a horror film, taking a simple and crude route. It is very popular among horror film lovers. The fact that it can be made into a series of 4 movies proves that it is extraordinary.

The final "Human Purge" is an alternative among horror films.

Although it is also very violent, it cannot be simply classified as a mindless horror movie.

It is a horror film, but it is better to say that it is a film that reflects deeply on society with its violent plot. It will make people feel a lot after watching it.

What attracts people is actually the plot.

Because of this, the vitality of "Human Purge Plan" has become stronger. By the time Yin Jun traveled back through time, 4 movies had been released.

With good reputation, the fifth and sixth parts are obviously on the agenda.

Of course, Yin Jun would not let Yu Rentai shoot the entire three series of more than a dozen movies.

All Yu Rentai has to do is lay the foundation for the first one or two episodes, and then Yin Jun will hand over the rest to other directors to continue filming.

For example, Wen Zhiren, the master of horror films, is the best candidate to take on these films twenty years later!
